6lowpan: revert 'reuse eth_mac_addr()'

This reverts the commit f5b4825aa313e048ecbfdc7de772b6f5b75821d1 which
replaces lowpan '.ndo_set_mac_address' method by ethernet's one.

Accorind to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, device has 8-byte length address,
so this hook loses the last 2 bytes which may rise a compatibility problems
with other IEEE 802.15.4 standard implementations.
